Teachers Day 2017: Teachers have played a very important and crucial part during the formative phases of our lives. Apart from imparting knowledge and education our teachers have also at many times lent us a sympathetic and kind ear irrespective of the fact whether it was an academic problem or a personal problem. All of us have at one occasion or the other have reminisced about our school or our teachers, but all of us do happen to think about our teachers on September 5, Teachers’ Day. The day is celebrated on the birth anniversary of India’s first Vice President and second President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was an academician who treasured education. All of us thank our teachers in our own way, but thankfully a few people in Bollywood have penned down songs on our behalf for our teachers. We present to you a list of songs that you must include in your teacher’s Day playlist:
